Jeffrey Lamb: A Sacrifice For Murders

On June 15, 2004, Cathy Renee Lamb was brutally murdered while getting ready for her 11th wedding anniversary date with her estranged husband, Jeffrey Lamb. Jeffrey, a tow-truck driver, was soon charged with beating his wife to death with a tire iron. He had arranged the date as part of a scheme to kill her so he could accumulate around $27,000 under her life insurance policy. Instead of divorcing Cathy, Jeffrey believed he could benefit more from getting rid of her all together. Prior to their encounter, Jeffrey asked Cathy if she could look after his dog, Bandit, and then added if he could move back home with her permanently. On the night of the date, he called 911 after saying he discovered her dead body. Lamb first seemed to have a well

built alibi, but it soon started to show its faults. Jeffrey’s alibi was fully researched and his phone records proved that he was lying about his locations. The man began to raise even more suspicion when it was uncovered that Cathy’s dogs had been beaten up, but Bandit was not. However, the biggest piece of evidence was the unique microscopic blood stains found on his dark pants, and not the tire iron, the night of the murder. Extensive examiners were then hired and they then confirmed it was Cathy’s blood and Jeffrey was a guilty man. Jeffrey was quickly charged with murder, insurance fraud, animal cruelty, and sentenced to the death penalty.
